    Ube matcha, biscoff latte, matcha einspanner
    Morgan W.

    Delicious and high quality matcha and coffee! Good variety of flavors too. Their pastries are so yummy and I would def try out their lemon bar- it was amazing! The staff is so sweet and helpful. There's not much seating but the inside of the shop is decorated very cute and is always super clean and aesthetic! There isn't many other good coffee shops in this area so I would definitely try them out!

    Black sesame oat and biscotti latte
    Jasmine O.

    First time here and it was a nice, easy stop. I tried the black sesame oat latte and the biscotti latte. Both were good, just nothing that really stood out just yet. Service was really good. The place inside is cute with a clean, minimal vibe. There are small white tables lined along the wall with a bench and stools and some simple decor and artwork that gives it a cozy feel. It's not very big, but there were still plenty of open tables which was nice. Everything was clean and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. I'm looking forward to trying more next time. Deff a decent spot if you're in the area and want something simple and low key.

    Biscoff latte (iced) and lemon bar
    Timmy S.

    One of my favorite coffee shops. The interior is small with only a few tables but what they serve is superb. I visited on a weekday afternoon and ordered a Biscoff latte and a lemon bar. I sat at the one available table and savored both items. The Biscoff latte was iced, with just enough ice to make it cold. I appreciate that they didn't overdo the ice like most coffee places. The flavor of cookie butter was vivid, sweet, and delicious. The cream top and crumbles of Biscoff added to the visual appeal. The lemon bar was slightly sweet and citrusy, with a tasty thin outer crust, the top of which was sprinkled with powdered sugar. For me, this was a perfect lemon bar in every way. If I lived anywhere near here, this would be a regular stop.

    Drinks we ordered were iced flat white and sesame latte. I liked the sesame latte because it wasn't too sweet at all snd their sesame cold foam was good. Coffee roast they use was good also. My husband liked his flat white. The store was very cute and cozy. Staff was ok, they didn't really acknowledge us until the barista nudged the cashier person to take our order. Idk what it is about customer service from these new cafes in the area lately.... They're not that friendly. This lady before us ordered a drink hot but they made it iced. She was really nice about it when letting the worker know but the owner (I'm pretty sure she was the owner) said something in Korean to the worker loudly and sounded upset about it. I found that a bit rude to speak your own language in front of a customer in the middle of an issue. It was pretty obvious she was upset at the customer. I'm not sure I'd be back... but their sesame latte was pretty good, so maybe.

    Mango matcha, Black sesame latte, Grape ade
    Sam B.

    #181 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Haru is a small coffeeshop that recently opened in Buena Park. Their specialized menu consists of several unique and creative drinks, so it took me a moment to narrow down my choices. I ultimately went with their Black sesame latte and Green grape ade. The black sesame latte is one of their more popular drinks with it's rich, roasted, and slightly sweet flavor profile. I loved how creamy the nutty drink was after mixing. Nevertheless, as impressive as the latte was, the real winner for me was the green grape ade. The drink was a refreshing bubbly drink, both crisp and sweet. I also enjoyed the pastries I purchased, especially the Lotus marshmallow cookie. All in all, Haru was a fantastic find! ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

    My mango matcha drink was good but the girl working did not ask me for sweetness level, I forgot to say anything so I guess I GOT 100% And it literally tasted like 10000% sugar lmao I LIKE SWEET BUT IT WAS WAY TOO MUCH. STILL, I Appreciate the taste and the potency ! Next time I'll for sure ask for 25% here. (If possible) I like the decor, modern style Cafe vibe . Very clean and there was a photo station too! the mallow cookie was 8/10 !!! Really fresh and tasty, with good slightly chewy texture, tender marshmallow, Their baked goods honestly all looked great!

    Very cute modern cafe! Biscoff Latte- Good. The sweetness is adjustable, so you can keep that coffee kick if you prefer things a bit more bitter Black Sesame Oat Latte- Nutty and creamy yet still has the coffee flavor Strawberry Matcha Latte- light matcha flavor, but delicious when mixed with the strawberry Lemon Bar: yum Pretzel Croissant Sandwich: Ours came out a little too toasted (extra crispy!), but the flavor was still good The staff were very friendly and helpful, making the whole experience pleasant. Definitely returning to try other drinks when in the area!

    I'm so glad I discovered Cafe Haru recently. Parking is easy and the inside spanking clean and beautifully decorated. I had my drink orders placed online ahead of time and it was available upon arrival. I loved every sip of what I had ordered!!! The Biscoff latte and the caramel milk tea were delicious and refreshing. Both items weren't too sweet, and I didn't feel like all I had was 5 sips and rest of it ice. Phew! So many artisanal coffee shop type places do that nowadays so it was nice to see they have ice level as an option. I'm looking forward to returning again in the future!

    Black sesame oat latte on the left. Apple peach ice tea in the middle. Green grape sparkling ade on the right.

    We stopped by for some drinks and dessert the other day. There is a lot of parking available in the shopping center they are located in. The café itself is small and charming. We got a few drinks. The black sesame oat latte was rich and dark. The apple peach ice tea was cool and refreshing. The apple and peach notes in the back of the tea were just right. Subtlety sweet and perfect for sipping. The green grape sparkingling ade was bubbly, sweet and refreshing. I couldn't stop drinking it. They also have a good assortment of pastries. We got a pecan bar that was delicious. The bar is full of pecans and it is not very sweet. Just perfect. We also got a strawberry and cream croissant. The strawberries and cream are subtlety sweet. The croissant itself is light, flakey and buttery. So good. Plus, the staff is super friendly and helpful.

    I wouldn't have known this coffee joint without Bonnie S. , special thanks! It's such a hidden gem, cute shop located in the same plaza as Northgate Market. Enjoyed the black sesame oat milk latte so much, I almost wanted a second. Usually the black sesame flavor would be super strong where you are unable to taste the coffee, but this was very well balanced. The coffee was there and so was the black sesame. I'm usually a oat milk type of gal, and they were on the spot for me. Service - Very friendly staff. Explains each drink to you as you order. Food - Didn't get to try the pastries, but they do have a few to grab a bite. Seats - There are a few seats inside to sit and study. There is free wifi and outlets for laptops if needed.

    We got the biscoff latte, sesame oat latte, and the chocolate croissant. I'm usually a black sesame latte person, but I thought the biscoff latte was better in this case! The drinks were pretty sweet but it didn't detract from the flavor. There's minimal seating at the cafe (pretty small location), but I went when it wasn't busy so it was easy to find a seat.

    I had the mango matcha. This is one of the places where the mango taste artificial or not fresh. Staff was friendly. Nice little cafe to hang

    I love their Biscoff Latte, and I didn't have to just the sweetness level because it's just right! Came here on a weekday around lunch hours and the place is packed, but there was no wait so my drink came out pretty fast and it was only one person working as well. They were pretty fast making the drink. I love the decorations, sanitary or design inside the store. Limited parking in the plaza, but it was a quiet one

I'm hoping things don't change too much but hey, I'm up for trying whatever the plan may be for this place. We ordered a Citrus Summer and a Yuzu Tonic. As always, it did NOT disappoint. That Citrus Summer was probably the best I've had haha The place is always calm, quiet, and welcoming. It's a great spot to relax and get a drink at.

    My wife heard great things about Don Melt so she stopped to grab some ice cream to give it a shot…read more First off, it's located at the end of the mall under the stairs so it took us a while to locate it. Once we arrived, there was plenty of chairs and seating and the place looked pretty cool. They also had a pretty extensive menu which consisted of coffee, tea, lattes, Korean drinks, smoothies, sparkling aids and of course, ice cream. I don't like ice cream but I was actually pretty excited for her to try it. Cool name, cool spot, I'm willing to bet something on it, it's about to be fire! After waiting a while I noticed she was still at the front, I wasn't sure if she was looking at the menu or what. So I go to the front and no one is in sight, I see the bell and I ring it and a young girl comes to help. Make sure you ring the bell smh. Finally after the long wait, and a small line formed behind us, she finally gets her ice cream on a cone. I see her walking towards me happy and then she takes a bite and everything goes out the window. She hated everything about the ice cream. It wasn't what she thought, she didn't like the texture, the flavor or anything about it. She had me taste it and she was right, it tasted like ice without the cream and kind of bland. It is exactly what it is marketed as, low fat, low calorie, low sugar, and low carbs so I have no clue what she thought she was getting. It clearly said, plant based lol. I told her and she said she at least wanted it to taste creamy and she was right, it was far from creamy but Don Melt didn't do anything wrong lol. Anyway, she didn't want to be mean so she held on to it until we got a few stores down and tossed it. Then we went on a hunt to find her ice cream smh. Now, from my experience, it wasn't bad and I understand what they are doing. It's a healthy ice cream that isn't creamy and it's not something I would eat but I get the concept. It's for healthy eaters wanting to fill a craving, which isn't for everyone and I think she was being a little emotional about wanting her ice cream. I personally wouldn't go back for the ice cream but I'd be willing to try something else off of their menu. I can see why this is pretty popular among healthy eaters. OOO 3 out of 5 Afros
